Possibility to include files that only exist in the stream

[LeonB]

Is it possible to include files that only exist in the stream?

For example: I'm generating assets from a bower manifest and I would like to include those instead of the source files:

    var bowerSrc = gulp.src(bowermf()
      .pipe(flatten());
    var appSrc = gulp.src(paths.scripts);
    var stream = merge(appSrc, bowerSrc);

    stream.pipe(debug());

    stream
      .pipe(include())
      .pipe(gulp.dest('./public/js'));

gulp-debug outputs this:

[15:26:48] gulp-debug: (2014-08-25 13:26:48 UTC)

File
cwd:      ~/Public/advertentietool
base:     ~/Public/advertentietool/app/assets/javascripts/
path:     ~/Public/advertentietool/app/assets/javascripts/site.js
contents: //= include app/assets/vendor/jquery.js...

path:     app/assets/vendor/jquery.js

If it's needed I can provide a repository with a simple testcase.

This issue is old, I know, but I'm not sure that this is a feature the community needs. Closing for now.
